Today’s Tunes: Brought to You by a Chillin’ Stephanie

It’s always a positive sign that I’m feeling better and more mentally stable when I start digging into music again. When I’m at the depths of my depression, I can’t even reach for music – my soul’s food. Given all the music I’ve been listening to and the string of music-related posts, I have yet another sign that I’m steadily on the upswing. Thanks to a myriad of factors, no doubt. My wonderful Peopleaneous, a few in particular who have seen the darkest sides of me and helped me through, another particular one who thrills me to no end, and the medications I’ve been put on have no doubt played a significant role as well. Never again will anyone hear me say psychiatric medication is bullshit.

I feel compelled to share what my soul is filled with this morning. Soothing me and tugging at me and pushing me and pulling me with its raw passion and purity. This, my friends, is art. It’s all instrumental, but you can hear Keith getting into it. Crying out at times, because he is music.

yay! I liked them very much! I usually have to be in a certain mood for instrumental music. I am fascinated with lyrics most of the time. but this was very nice to listen to today! thank you for introducing me to it! 🙂

Videos not working for me for some reason :(, but yay to you defrosting and warming your way to stability. I saw your tag ‘catharsis’ and thought it said ‘carcass’, lol. I’m roasting chicken right now. Maybe that’s why?! 😉

Bahaha!
Do not critique the Jarrett. No. Seriously. He’s special to me, and I understand if he doesn’t speak to you. But he reaches into my soul.
And you know something? I’m slowly becoming content with me, but fuckin’ hell it’s a process.

I’ll check my mail as soon as I get a lengthier break at work! Yay! Mail!

…Maybe (Just maybe) you should try and get out of work using the timezone difference as an argument, calculating how much work you’ve done for the week against how many hours you work, then pointing out that had it been in Australia, you’d have worked from Monday to Saturday by this point.

You used to think psychiatric drugs were bullshit?? I’m SO glad you’re starting to feel better, especially as you experienced such awful side effects at first. Are you still on all the meds you were originally prescribed except lithium?

Like a baby. But I’m tired all day long. I think the ones for depression and mood regulation need to shift to nighttime because they list drowsiness as a side effect as well. And she has me taking those in the morning.

Love the music choices Steph, never heard of this guy before so will defog add him to my collection. Good background music when turned low or good foreground when belted out. Two music styles for the price of one!
P.S, so glad you are finally feeling brighter and better. You take care now.
